Tiana is passionate about empowering individuals and supporting families and care teams to better understand behaviour as communication, placing strong value on working collaboratively within a person’s broader multidisciplinary team to ensure supports are consistent, practical, and aligned with each individual’s goals and needs.

She has experience working across a range of disability and mental health contexts, supporting people in home, supported accommodation, school, and community settings. Tiana is skilled in completing Functional Behaviour Assessments, developing Behaviour Support Plans, supporting restrictive practice reduction, and delivering training and capacity‑building support to staff teams, and she particularly enjoys equipping support staff with the knowledge and confidence to provide high‑quality, compassionate care.

She is committed to collaborative practice, compassion, and continuous learning, striving to create supportive environments that promote dignity, safety, and positive long‑term outcomes for the people she works with.

Her practice is grounded in strengths‑based and trauma‑informed behaviour support, with experience in completing functional behaviour assessments, developing behaviour support plans, and supporting the reduction of restrictive practices. Tiana works closely with families, support staff, and multidisciplinary teams to build shared understanding, consistency, and confidence. Her experience includes psychosocial impairment, complex mental health presentations, and supporting individuals with autism, intellectual disability, Down syndrome, and dementia, alongside delivering staff training, NDIS reporting, and person‑centred capacity building.

She specialises in supporting individuals with complex behaviours of concern, emotional dysregulation, psychosocial impairment, complex mental health presentations, and high‑support needs, with a strong focus on developing practical, individualised strategies that enhance quality of life, improve understanding of behaviour, and promote sustainable outcomes across home and community environments.
